Chapter 1516: Leaving Intentions

Under the personal escort of Crown Prince Zhou Tian, they soon arrived at the main hall area. Zhou Qingchen bowed to Yun Che and bade him farewell, saying, "My father is inside. If God Child Yun wishes, you may go and see him. Otherwise, you are free to go wherever you please. Furthermore, my father has personally decreed that in the future, if God Child Yun has any requests, we will spare no effort, even if it means expending the full power of our realm, to fulfill them. So please, God Child Yun, do not hesitate to ask."

Yun Che responded with an "Uh..."

"Qingchen takes his leave." The Crown Prince of Zhou Tian bowed and then departed with a relaxed demeanor.

After he had gone some distance, he finally looked back, casting a distant glance at Qianye Ying'er, then sighed to the heavens, "Though Yun Che is young now, his potential is boundless. In the future, he will surely surpass all beings, adorned with a world-shaking aura. He truly is the one most suited for her."

"But... why a slave? Why a slave..."

"Did Father violate his long-held principles, approving... and even personally witnessing this, simply to sever my own aspirations?"

In the Eastern Divine Region, countless individuals of noble birth and high status, who believed themselves worthy of being close to the Brahma Monarch Goddess, were utterly infatuated with her. Zhou Qingchen, constrained by his nature, was considered the most reserved among them. However, the Brahma Monarch Goddess... had actually become Yun Che's slave! Not a wife, not a concubine, not even a maidservant, but the most humiliating, humble, and despicable type of slave, devoid of even a shred of self-respect!

When this news rapidly spread, propelled by the Moon God Realm, it triggered immeasurable shock and fury... But at that time, Yun Che was backed by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, so who dared to act? Even the Brahma Monarch God Realm, and even the Nanming God Emperor, who was most obsessed with Qianye Ying'er, had to quietly endure it. Now, with the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor about to depart, Yun Che also had the Evil Infant by his side! Coupled with his merit in saving the world, everyone was indebted to him for his salvation. What could anyone do?

After Zhou Qingchen left, Yun Che turned to glance at Qianye Ying'er and said, "Another one... you've really caused trouble for quite a few God Child-level figures." Zhou Qingchen had initially cast a very discreet glance at her, and later, his gaze drifted towards Qianye Ying'er's direction several more times. Although he suppressed it all and maintained a normal demeanor, Yun Che had noticed everything.

"Reserved in nature, subtly cowardly, and with thoughts as stubborn as his father's—he is not worthy of my notice," Qianye Ying'er said without emotion. It was as if the esteemed Crown Prince of Zhou Tian, the future God Emperor of Zhou Tian, wasn't even worthy of a second glance from her.

"Then, in your opinion, what kind of man in this world is worthy of your notice? Tianwu Xisu?" Yun Che asked.

"He is not worthy either," Qianye Ying'er answered without the slightest hesitation. "Only Master."

Yun Che reached up and tapped his chin, his gaze shifting away from Qianye Ying'er, "Unfortunately, you're not worthy of me!"

Qianye Ying'er: "..."

"Hehe, so God Child Yun has indeed arrived."

A gentle voice spread from afar. The God Emperor of Zhou Tian, having sensed Yun Che's aura, had already stepped out. His figure flickered, and he stood before Yun Che, smiling kindly, his eyes full of benevolence. The God Emperor of Zhou Tian's mental state had significantly changed compared to before, naturally due to the lifting of the calamity.

"Senior."

Just as Yun Che was about to bow, the God Emperor of Zhou Tian extended a hand to stop him, saying, "From now on, in my Zhou Tian, you need not observe any formalities. Have you just met my son, Qingchen?"

Yun Che nodded and replied, "This junior had a very pleasant conversation with His Highness."

"That's good," the God Emperor of Zhou Tian nodded with a smile. "I have high hopes for him. My intention in having him approach you was also somewhat selfish. I hope that in the future, you can offer him a little guidance, allowing him to absorb more of your qualities and divine radiance."

Yun Che's brow twitched, and he quickly said, "His Highness the Crown Prince, in terms of lineage, status, cultivation, and experience... is far beyond what this junior can compare to. This junior is truly unworthy of your praise, Senior."

The God Emperor of Zhou Tian shook his head with a smile, "A few months ago, when you displayed your light profound energy, I also saw your compassionate saintly heart, and at that time, I was merely deeply comforted in my heart. I never imagined that in just a few months, you would save the God Realm, save the present age, and leave behind an everlasting legacy for ten thousand generations."

"'The talk of a "saintly heart" truly did not deceive me.'"

"Uh..." Yun Che's expression was conflicted, "This junior is merely an ordinary person."

As soon as he said this, the admiration on the God Emperor of Zhou Tian's face deepened. He sighed softly, "Possessing a saintly heart, having accomplished world-saving deeds, yet not only are you not arrogant about your achievements, but you are also so peaceful and humble, handling matters with a clear mind. If Qingchen could have even half of your qualities... no, if he could have just thirty percent, I would have no regrets in this life."

Yun Che: o((⊙﹏⊙))o(It seems that more interactions with Zhou Qingchen will be inevitable in the future. I just hope... I don't lead him astray.)

"By the way... God Child Yun," the God Emperor of Zhou Tian's voice softened slightly, "I wonder about the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor..."

Yun Che replied, "This junior has been in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning and the Snow Song Realm these past few days and has not seen Senior Devil Emperor. If Senior Devil Emperor has instructions, she will appear on her own. Otherwise, this junior cannot meet her. However, Senior, please rest assured, Senior Devil Emperor's words are as firm as mountains; she will absolutely not go back on them."

"Hmm," the God Emperor of Zhou Tian nodded, the slight anxiety on his face easing further. He then asked, "And the Evil Infant... is she truly willing to remain in the lower realms permanently?"

Yun Che nodded, "I once said that this is my wish, and it is also her wish. Remaining in the lower realms is not a restriction for her. However, as I said before, in the future..."
